Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to harvest energy by free/impact motion generator (FIMG) with human body motion by using micro-electromagnetic vibration. To have the best efficiency and energy harvesting, harvesters are used to create energy using insole sensors, Micro-electromagnetic generators and servomotors can be used to obtain the output and it should be tested with the actual human body movements. Understanding the biomechanics of a human body and the location of harvesting the energy can be determined by studying the gait of a human body. It also has an effective performance output with low frequency—large amplitude vibrations. Energy harvested from the movement of human body is converted to electrical energy by using micro-electromagnetic sensor. The body location this sensor will be fitted for harvesting the energy are the angle, upper leg, wrist. The energy that is harvested by doing daily activity is as people intentionally do movement in the body either by walking, fast walking, and jogging.
